DRS in place for ODIs and Tests

South Africa's home ODI and Test series against Australia will have the full benefits of the DRS after the host broadcasters unveiled their provisions for its use during the matches.

Following the ICC executive board's decision to revert to a system of competing teams deciding for themselves whether or not to use the system, South Africa and Australia agreed to implement the aids for decision-making that were also in place the last time these two sides met, in South Africa in 2009.

The officiating umpires will be able to call on technological aids including super and ultra slow motion cameras, ball-tracking via Hawkeye and evidence of edges via HotSpot cameras.

There will be no restriction on the types of dismissals that may be referred by the competing teams, meaning lbw decisions can be referred.

Australia will employ a similar incarnation of the DRS in its two-match home series against New Zealand in December, but it is unlikely they will be able to employ the system against India in the four Tests that follow, given the BCCI's scepticism about the system.
